How to Carve a Twisted Finial - Woodturning 

Nice work. I suggest using African blackwood, as it truly is the king of turning and carving woods for fine details. Also, mark the upper and lower starting points for the twist using the indexing function of your lathe. Hand sanding is the time-consuming part of this project.

I have only just seen this video. Very very good. Well done.

Very nice! Takes the patience of Job to complete.

I am going to try this - will use your video step by step. Thanks for sharing

Very interesting,he answered any questions I had.

Nice piece.

Nice job 😉👍

Emery cloth is great for the rounding of these type of twists

You are the best

That is no doubt, got to be the fanciest finial I've ever seen. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 my friend.

Handwork is is easy to like but well done handwork is a treasure🏆 I find it extremely rewarding. To see and to do! Thank you for sharing this Attila🙏 Stay safe. -Mike

Great work on it, Attila 💪 Sanding that type of elements is horrible but as I see on Your finial it is worthy 👌 Looks beautiful 😊

That's really nice Atila, lots of care and patience paid off, cheers John

Good work takes time. I admire your patience!

Fantastic Finial Atilla, the Dremel looks like a handy tool to have :-)

Looks beautiful. Can't wait to see what you attach it to.

Great video and amazing handwork, I will 100% use what I just saw in your video Thanks for sharing .. Have a great day and stay safe .. 😃👍

Thanks for sharing your process. I'm just starting to do spiral work so I found this video very informative. 🙂

That’s got some amazing detail. Great work!

Very nice and thanks for showing your process. Could you please tell me the piano music piece name that was being played.....also very nice.

Nagyon jó lett! Az első faragás mindig nehéz, de neked jobb fejeid vannak mint nekem volt a faberge tojásnál😀 viszont kedvet kaptam hozzá, és inspiráltál egy másik ötletre! Köszönöm!🤜🤛

This is is so pretty. Can't wait to see next weeks project with the fineal on it.

Pretty awesome👍 You are awesome

Amazing! Cannot wait to see what project you design for that to go on Thank you for sharing an extra video, I enjoyed it :-)

Another great piece Attila! Just beautiful! Is that walnut? What's the finish?

I hate to tell you but you are using that spindle gouge backwards! The flute of the gouge is suppose to face the direction you are going and be riding the bevel for a smooth surface and little sanding afterwards.
